diet! in 113D. Under this grant, Steven settled here, and gave his
patronymic designation to the place. The parish abounds in
valuable seams of coal. The extensive iron works of Ard^er were
erected here by Messrs. Merry & Cuninghame in 1852. The frees-
stone quarry of Ardeer is famous for a superior hard white stone,
great quantities of which are exported to the Highlands andlrehind
for the finer parts of builcUngs and monuments. The British
Dynamite Company have recently erected in Ardeer, very large
works for the manufacture of dynamite. The extensive' sands
stretching from Saltcoats to Irvine have been frequently suggested
as a suitable deposit gi'ound for the sewage of Glasgow. The Estab-
lished church is a large handsome building, of modern erection,
very promineutlv situated. The old church formerly belouged to
the monies of Kilwinning. There is also a Free church. In the
centre of the town is erected a handsome and commodious school,
built under the Scotch Education Act, to accommodate about 650
children. The parish contains 4,268 acres. Population in 1871,
3,140.
